Lying quietly, Su Mo still felt a little clueless and he won’t be able to fall asleep without sorting out his thoughts. Xing Biao behaved nicely, held his waist and cuddled him. However, when they just touched each other, Su Mo turned over and lay on his side. ‘Was he being shy?’ thought Xing Biao and moved a little closer. Two minutes later, Su Mo rolled over again and lay on his back. Xing Biao patted him and they lay face-to-face with each other.

Sensing that Xing Biao wanted to kiss him, Su Mo pushed him away immediately and said, “Leave me alone.” He usually got more and more upset when he couldn’t sort things out anyhow.

“You said you were tired, then why do you toss and turn restlessly? Can’t fall asleep?”

“Who can lie down and fall asleep right away? I am not like you.”

Xing Biao smirked. “Darling, do you know what we used to do in northeast part? When I was little, people there were very poor, so we had two meals a day in winter – first at ten in the morning and second at four in the afternoon – because it got dark very early. The whole village went to bed at six o ‘clock, and got up until nine o ‘clock the next day.”

“Sleeping so much? Wouldn’t people’s head become flat instead of round?”

“That’s why people there had so many children. There was no TV, not so many cabarets or night clubs as we do now. People mostly stayed at home during the winter in small villages. Without much entertainment after dinner, and it was against nature for people to fall asleep so early; then what did they do? Couples had sex to make children. That kind of exercise is easier to spend the evening better. Then children were born one after another and my family was a relatively small one – four siblings in total. In a larger family, there were even a dozen children.”

Su Mo was shocked and thought, ‘Really? I did not expect people to have sex and make children for entertainment when they couldn’t fall asleep.’

“Darling, if you couldn’t fall sleep, why don’t we also make children?” Xing Biao slipped his hand into Su Mo’s pajama as he spoke.

Su Mo said nothing but lifted his left foot and kicked Xing Biao. As he was lying flat, Xing Biao didn’t suffer much. His arms were still around Su Mo, yet his waist was kicked aside.

“I’m sure my kidneys would both be gone if you had kicked me harder.” Murmuring and rubbing his waist, Xing Biao moved back and lay beside Su Mo.

“Huh.”

“Abusing me all the time and even spilling out when I was bragging.”

“People should keep a low profile. If you have to keep a high profile, then you should accept criticism.”

Xing Biao grumbled, ‘It was you who kicked me and raised your fists against me, if it’s someone else, I’ll beat him to death if he dares to get physical with me. Ah forget about it. He won’t say anything nice, but I just won’t be mad with him anyway. Go to sleep. I have a test to do tomorrow.’

In the morning, Su Mo went out with the briefcase in his hand. Xing Biao gave the car keys to Su Mo and thought, ‘My darling could drive to work himself today. Love it when he drives this car – just imagine, how handsome would he be in this car!’

“Let’s take the stairs instead of the elevator.”

“I don’t need to work out by taking the stairs. My muscles are strong; you’ve felt them on my waist and abdomen.”

“Yes, your muscles are strong and you only have six packs.” Su Mo replied and checked the time. He started timing and went downstairs with high speed.

Xing Biao hurriedly followed behind. He thought Su Mo wanted to exercise by taking the stairs, but it was the eighth floor! It they were to take the stairs every day, they’d be exhausted.

“You could touch and feel my muscles again when we get back home. They are definitely firm. Oh, slow down. Careful not to fall over.”

Su Mo was not those who liked to go to the gym to exercise, and got a bit out of breath when he just arrived at the fourth floor. He looked at his watch – two minutes were spent. He slightly sped up, and Xing Biao hurriedly grabbed his arm, fearing that he would fall down and broke his arms or legs in case of missing his step.

Getting downstairs without resting, Su Mo panted and checked the time again – five minutes in total. He trotted down from the eighth floor within five minutes. ‘No one can get down from eighth floor and then run up back there within ten minutes, can he? Anyway I couldn’t.’ Su Mo thought.

“Darling, get in the car and try it. I think you would look absolutely gorgeous and super cool in this car.”

Su Mo nodded and said, “I won’t bother you to drive me to work today. You can go to the company yourself. When they come to sign the contract, just give me a call in advance.”

Every man in this world liked cars. The car was fabulous and good-looking. After trying it out, Su Mo had to agree with Xing Biao’s choice and complimented, “Good taste.” Xing Biao was rude and not the slightest elegant, but sometimes he had good taste.

“Well, of course I have a good taste, otherwise I wouldn’t have married you. I can always identify good things at first sight, and I’ll get it once I find it.”

Su Mo rolled his eyes and thought, ‘Things? What is a thing? Can you call your wife A THING?’ He stepped on the gas and drove away.

Xing Biao looked at the car taillight and felt very happy. A man always liked to dress up his wife, to spend money to buy him dazzling clothes, , to buy him fine jewelry, and to buy him good-looking cars, so that when the wife went out, people would praise the wife, which would also make the husband feel proud. ‘Most of all, I’m so proud to see that my wife is better than others.’ Xing Biao thought.

‘What is a good husband? That even if he has to eat steamed buns for a month himself, as long as he can save money to buy his wife a good suit to wear to make him look good, he’s fine with it. Spending money on the wife is definitely a pleasure. Although money is not a measurement of affection, it definitely tests the depth of one’s love. If a man refuses to spend a dime for his lover, and even haggles over every ounce when the money is spent, then this man is not only stingy on money, but also mean on affection.’

Su Mo went directly to the community where the victim used to live in and talked to the security guard who, according to the accuser’s words, drove the accuser away.

“I saw him that day, with tears on his face. I asked him what the matter with him. He yelled at me and said ‘It’s none of your business’, so I asked him to leave right away in a rage. Then I went to the restroom, and when I came back, I could still see him walking down the road to the left.”

“How long did it take for you to go to the restroom?”

“Three or four minutes.”

“When was the electricity restored that day?”

“When I came back from the restroom. The neon street lights all lit up all of a sudden and I happened to see the back of this man. Ah, he looked like a good boy. How come he was so stupid to kill?”

“Was there an emergency generator for the elevator?”

“No. The equipment was not so advanced in this community. Even if there was an emergency generator, it couldn’t support the normal operation of the elevator.”

Hearing the security guard’s answer, Su Mo smiled and sorted out his thoughts finally. Time for him to draw up the indictment and apply for an appeal for the retrial . He was just ready to go back to the lawyer’s office when his phone rang.

“Darling, they said they’d come at eleven o ‘clock to sign the contract. Are you coming over? Shall I pick you up?”

“I am out of office for investigation. I’m just done here. I’ll come over right now.” Su Mo thanked the security guard, and drove directly to Xing Biao’s company.

Su Mo was actually quite busy, occupied by his own work while troubling about Xing Biao’s business. It was Xing Biao who was so blessed to have such a good wife as Su Mo.

Little Stammer saw Lawyer Su coming and went over to greet him. “Lawyer Su, you came here so fast.”

“Isn’t he in?”

“He is in. Brother Biao told me to show you to his office once you are here.” Little Stammer smiled and led the way.

“What’s he doing?” asked Su Mo. He wondered, ‘Usually Xing Biao would come out agitated and meet me as soon as I arrive. Why is he so behaved today? Acting cold in his office?’

“Brother Biao got his hands occupied solving a little problem.”

Su Mo looked at the bodyguard company and really wanted to sigh, ‘There are four men in black suit and with black sunglasses standing at the reception of the company. Normal people would be too scared to come in. Upon entering, there are different office signs on the doors. Finance Office, Deputy Manager Office, and the rest reads Card-playing Area, Boxing Area – which are all acceptable. – but even Fight Area?

People who are walking around have either yellow or green hair, scuffing slippers on the floor or wear weird clothes – all rascal-like. This is definitely a gathering place for all kinds of rascals, rogues and gangs. They just put on the sign so that everyone could know what the purposes of each rooms are. How does he manage this company? Are these people qualified to work for him? It seems like a gang leader is leading a group of little younger brothers to seek fortunes.’

He was dressed in a formal suit with gentle looking face, which was so different from others. So people were looking at him.

“Little Stammer, who’s this?” A man in a striped shirt and a leather jacket came over and looked up and down at Su Mo.

“This is Lawyer Su.”

“Sorry to have offended you, Lawyer Su.” The man immediately respectfully stepped back and gave way to Su Mo.

Come on, Brother Bai had recently bragged a lot about how powerful Brother Biao’s wife was, who could even made Brother Biao obedient. Brother Bai also warned them to stay away from Lawyer Su as far as they could, as he was easy to bear grudges and sought revenge even for the smallest grievance; Brother Biao would never ever spare those who provoked Lawyer Su. They were responsible for the security of the outside during the wedding, and thus did not have the chance to meet Lawyer Su. This was the first time they see Lawyer Su himself.

Su Mo nodded a little and went over. The man in a striped shirt touched his heart and sighed, ‘OMG, Lawyer Su looks full of majesty, even more than Brother Biao does. No, not the same power. Brother Biao is dominant, who could frighten people by frowning all the time, and scare people to death when he gets really angry. While Lawyer Su could throw people to the icy hell with just an indifferent glance. No one would dare to provoke this couple; best to stay away from them.’

Little Stammer knocked on the door and went straight in. “Brother Biao, Lawyer Su is here.”

Su Mo stood in the doorway. His eyes were wide open with amazement when he saw what was happening inside the room. He was expecting a meeting, not a bloody and violent scene.

The office was pretty big, with no evergreen plants nor flowers. A man fell on the ground, covered in blood. There were two men kicking and punching the man, while Xing Biao showed a furious and violent side of his personality, which Su Mo had never seen before. He didn’t wear a coat, with sleeves rolled up to the elbow, standing there, frowning and looking fiercely at the man on the floor.

His hair was messy, his muscles all rippled with strength, with savage eyes. The whole room could hear the man whining and yelling and the sound of each kick and punch, yet Xing Biao just pressed his lips together and watched his men beat that guy. Blood oozed from the man’s mouth and his brows by every punch. He was rolling on the floor miserably.

Then Xing Biao pushed away his men, seized the man on the ground and threw him against the wall as if he was carrying a little chicken. That man bumped on the hard wall and shouted. Xing Biao raised his foot and stepped on the man’s stomach, he even ground his toes. He didn’t lift his foot away even though the man was coughing blood.

Xing Biao looked very fierce when he frowned. Su Mo knew that Xing Biao was not doing decent business and that he was originally part of the underworld, but starting from their acquaintance to their marriage, he had never seen Xing Biao being so brutal and ferocious.

In Su Mo’s mind, Xing Biao was a guy who only spoke rude languages, and sometimes joked like “See, this is a fist. I use it to punch people but never you.” He would only quarrel and fight noisily with him. Even if he shouted, he would immediately apologize and act as obedient as a domesticated Tibetan mastiff.

For the first time, Su Mo saw the furious and violent side of Xing Biao’s personality – bloody, cruel, and vicious. However, this was probably the most real side of his personality – the gangster Xing Biao. He didn’t know enough about Xing Biao yet and really thought him as a silly big stupid bear when they were together. Xing Biao was a bit hot-tempered, but a nice person; he had gone through a lot of pain, but he knew how to take care of people.

‘I didn’t know he could be so scary.’ Su Mo thought. ‘Just like the Tibetan mastiff that began to bite crazily, and he would never stop biting until his prey died!’
